When Journey comes on the radio....
There is a story behind this. Our oldest son, Elder Spencer Kirkham, really got into 80s music and Journey was one of his favorites. (And the love for the music didn't stop with him...)
He has been gone for 22 months now serving a 24 month mission. We email weekly but only get to talk to him via Skype twice a year. There are times like last night at Mariah's Graduation that we miss him a bit more than others.
On the way home last night, this song came on the radio. I have to say that I got a bit choked up.
When I was serving a mission in Guatemala from age 19 to 21, I'm told that my dad, Craig Kirkham, used to get teary eyed in the Orange Juice aisle at Costco. I guess it triggered memories of me guzzling the stuff by the gallon.
Last night I had an Orange Juice moment. Looking forward to head banging with the whole gang come August!
